Love Like This

When I was baby in this world

I used to cry for everything

I didn’t know how to defend

I only knew how to depend

But I heard my mother say to me

I’m gonna rock you up to be

Everything a man is supposed to a be

And everything a man will ever need

Cause when you got love like this my son

You gotta hold on tight

And when you got love like this my friend

You gotta love it till the end

And don’t you ever turn your back on love

Or ever give up on a friend

Cause Lennon said that love is all that you need

And when a love like this you’ll be

The first time I looked into her eyes

I was under a spell

I didn’t know what I was in

I only knew it was a sin

But ? in that safe

My broken heart

I only learned that love can be a fire

I really learned that love can burn

Cause when you got love like this my son

You gotta hold on tight

And when you got love like this my friend

You gotta love it till the end

And don’t you ever turn your back on love

Or ever give up on a friend

Cause Lennon said that love is all that you need

And when a love like this you’ll be

And when I saw that picture on the screen

And felt you kicking deep inside

I was lost for all my words

I was truly mesmerized

And when I got to hold you in my arms

You know I finally understand

Just how truelove really feels

And what it’s like to be a man

Cause when you got love like this my son

You gotta hold on tight

And when you got love like this my friend

You gotta love it till the end

And don’t you ever turn your back on love

Or ever give up on a friend

Cause Lennon said that love is all that you need

And when a love like this you’ll be

Cause when you got love like this my son

You gotta hold on tight

And when you got love like this my friend

You gotta love it till the end

And don’t you ever turn your back on love

Or ever give up on a friend

Cause Lennon said that love is all that you need

And when a love like this you’ll be

Superman

You’re sexy eyes are on tonight

You’re lookin’ for a one-way flight

You need a man to ease your

Worried mind

I know you’ve seen me here before

And girl before you lock that door

I think you know exactly

What you’ll find

So baby don’t you worry now (baby don’t you worry)

Cause I’ll be coming right to you

This man of steel will surely understand

You need a superman

Your troubles, lies and your mysteries

Have all been catching up I see

So you feel like running off in

Some kind of dream

Yeah but dreams sometimes they do come true

Girl it’s really up to you

To take a chance on love

In first sight

So baby don’t you worry now (baby don’t you worry)

Cause I’ll be coming right to you

This man of steel will surely understand

You need a superman

My love won’t come on too strong

And we can make it last as long

Until the sun is rising

In your eyes

Your sexy eyes are on tonight

And you’re looking for a one-way flight baby

You need a man to ease your

Worried mind…oh yeah

So baby don’t you worry now (baby don’t you worry)

Cause I’ll be coming right to you

This man of steel will surely understand

You need a superman

Holding Out For Love

Tell me now how’s it gonna be

Only you can make it right you see

I believed in your mystery

That you’re never gonna set me free

Here I sit all alone

Locked in my mind waiting by this phone

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide

Feelings for you that kill my pride

Say how long that you’re gonna need to get strong

I give you everything you want

And everything that I made up

I’m holding out for love

I tried to cry but these tears for you

Suddenly die without rescue

Almost at once you were gone again

Didn’t seem to care how it all might end

So take me down to the bottom low

And make it hurt like I never know

Still I like at you and can’t deny

I want you now more than any lie

Say how long that you’re gonna need to get strong

I give you everything you want

And everything that I made up

I’m holding out for love

Now I open up my arms

I can’t show you my true love

If this doesn’t get through to you

I need to walk away

Tell me now how’s it gonna be

Only you can make it right you see

I believe in your mystery

That you’re never gonna set me free

Say how long that you’re gonna need to get strong

I give you everything you want

And everything that I made up

I’m holding out for love

Little Red Corvette – written by PRINCE

I guess I should've known by the way
You parked your car sideways that it wouldn't last
See, you're the kinda person that believes in makin' out once
Love 'em and leave 'em fast

I guess I must be dumb
'Cause you had a pocket full of horses
Trojan and some of them used
But it was Saturday night, I guess that makes it all right
And you say, "What have I got to lose?"

And honey, I say Little Red Corvette
Baby, you're much too fast
(Oh)
Little Red Corvette
You need a love that's gonna last

I guess I should've closed my eyes
When you drove me to the place where your horses run free
'Cause I felt a little ill when I saw all the pictures
Of the jockeys that were there before me

Believe it or not, I started to worry
I wondered if I had enough class
But it was Saturday night, I guess that makes it all right
And you say, "Baby, have you got enough gas?", Oh yeah

Little Red Corvette
Baby, you're much too fast
(Yes, you are)
Little Red Corvette
You need to find a love that's gonna last
(Oh, oh)

A body like yours oughta be in jail
'Cause it's on the verge of bein' obscene
Move over, baby, gimme the keys
I'm gonna try to tame your little red love machine

Little Red Corvette
Baby, you're much too fast
Little Red Corvette
Need to find a love that's gonna last, hey hey

Little Red Corvette
Honey, you got to slow down
(Got to slow down)
Little Red Corvette

'Cause if you don't, you're gonna run your little red corvette
Right in the ground
(Little Red Corvette)
Right down to the ground
(Honey, you got to slow down)

You, you, you got to slow down
(Little Red Corvette)
You're movin' much too fast, too fast
Need to find a love that's gonna last

Girl, you got an ass like I never seen, ow
And the ride
I say the ride is so smooth, you must be a Limousine

Ow, baby, you're much too fast
Little Red Corvette
You need a love, you need a love that's, uh, that's gonna last
(Little Red Corvette)

Babe, you got to slow down
(Y got to slow down)
Little Red Corvette
'Cause if you don't, 'cause if you don't

You're gonna run your body right into the ground
(Right into the ground)
Right into the ground
(Right into the ground)
Right into the ground
(Right into the ground)

Universe

Why are we here?

Walking around

Driving our cars

Loving one close

Hating one far

But no one really knows why

All of us searching

For the truth

For the answers inside

We need to know why

Oh but why

Do we need to know why

Why can’t we just try to love

This world

No matter what they say

We look into the eye

And thank the sky

I don’t need to know why

And I don’t know why

We live in this universe

In this universe

It’s all so physical

Everything

We see

From the bottoms of the oceans

The tops upon the mountains

And our bodies

All go crashing in

To one another, to create

One love in others

The space inside my mind

Is the space but I will find

Peace and love for my sisters and brothers

Oh but why do I

Look outside for the answers

And I don’t know why and I don’t need to know why

We live in this Universe

In this Universe

I am so glad

You’re here with me

In this Universe

It’s just like everything is

Crashing down on my soul

It’s like this world is trying to

Get inside of me

And take control

So why are we here

Walking around

Driving our cars

To take it all in

Cause today may be

The end

Oh now why

Do I

Look outside for the answers

I don’t need to know why

And I don’t know why

We live in this Universe

In this Universe

I am so glad

You’re here with me

In this Universe

Blinded

Belly of life

In the depths of the dark side

Tried to catch my breath

Between the liquor and the pride

Stone cold crazy

Losing my mind

I was blinded

Blinded by the life

I was blinded

Blinded by the life

But amazing grace

Took away my knife

Ate up with ego

Driven by desire

And all my loved ones

Were thrown into the fire

Won’t somebody help me

Words straight from a liar

I was blinded

Blinded by the life

I was blinded

Blinded by the life

But amazing grace

It took away my knife

I was lost

Oh now I am found

My broken heart

Has spoken strong and bound

And I know the dark side

Is always just around

I was blinded

Blinded by the life

I was blinded

Blinded by the life

But amazing grace

Oh amazing grace

It took away my knife

Slow It Down

When I look back

Upon my life

You know it’s hard to remember

Anything I did right

I tried to examine

All my bad ways

When there’s not enough

I was in daze

I’ve learned one lesson

One I have found is to

Slow it down

I can’t believe

What I have done

You know them days they run together

And they melt into one

And all of the heartache

And all of the pain

You know I pray to god

Oh please, baptize the rain

I’ve learned one lesson

You know the one I have found is to

Slow it down

I gotta slow it down

Now I take each breath

You know in and out

And I don’t live in the past

Lord, I live in the now

And I tried to surrender

My will and my ways

And I live forgiveness

And I treasure each day

I’ve learned one lesson

Like the one I have found is to

Slow it down

I gotta slow it down

Today

I take my time about growing older

I try to live like I’m getting younger

All my friends say that life is colder

I just smile and off of my shoulder

My life is simple for that I’m grateful

With all my blessings I can’t be hateful

This world is heaven

With you beside me

My eyes are open to what might find me

I know that life is gonna bring some pain

But with some help from above

I know it’s gonna be okay

Just for Today

I know the feeling of always falling

The lost confusion of endless crawling

And when I woke up among the living

I became bound to love and forgiving

I know that life is gonna bring some pain

But with some help from above

I know it’s gonna be okay

Just for Today

There’s a world on fire

Full of hate and desire

I know that love is gonna fall like rain

I take my time about growing older

I try to live like I’m getting younger

All my friends say that life is colder

I just smile and off of my shoulder

I know that life is gonna bring some pain

But with some help from above

I know it’s gonna be okay

Just for Today

No Big City

I remember being young

When I went downtown

Buildings so tall I can’t see

Clouds in the sky

Shadows would black out the streets

People walk for miles just to get back to work

All the cars and buses stealing the scene

Oh the one homeless man

Who’s sleeping on the corner with a newspaper pillow

Obscene

It’s no big city

Anymore

It’s no big city

Not for me

Now it’s time to grow up

And stay out all night

Downtown clubs got the beat

Yeah the girls in the bars, they drink too much

And the drugs really turn on the heat

The lights at night

Shine on the river

While I’m heading east to wake up my mind

Now the suns coming up over east saint Louis

And I’m wide awake and walking it blind

It’s not big city

Anymore

It’s no big city

Oh not to me

34 years later from the day I was born

In the same city

Almost all of my life

I’ve been right from wrong

I’ve been black and white

Sometimes at the blade of a knife

Now it all makes sense

Why we need to stay together

And we’re gonna fight the good fight

Cause the times gonna come

To open our hearts

Minds that will become one tonight

No big city

Anymore

It’s no big city

Oh not to me

I said no big city

Well not anymore

No big city

Oh not to me

Well anymore

Not anymore

Oh oh x6

Deep Down In Love

You’ve got everything

That you’ll ever need

More than you deserve

More than history

Tell me what you’re made of

So what’s got into you?

Looks like the devil do

Calling you every way

Just like them crazy say

Tell me what you’re made of

It looks to me like you

Deep down in love

(Deep down in love)

So now you’re on your own

You’re making it all alone

They can all go to hell

Swallow it like a pill

So tell me what you’re made of

You think you got your own damn groove

Where everything’s nice and smooth

In walks some long blonde hair

Smiling pretty with an evil stare

So tell me what you’re made of

It looks to me like you

Fallen deep down in love

Life ain’t no mystery

It’s all about you and me

You pay your bills

You go to church

Making life easy to burn baby

So tell me what you think you’re made of

That’s right

You get a feeling that you can’t describe

It’s telling you big fat lies

You stopped sweating and you’re losing control

About time to start trusting your soul

Now tell me what you’re made of

Cause it looks to me like you

Oh deep down in love

(Deep down in love)

That’s right

We all gotta get there someday

Deep down in love

Oh it’s what we’re made of

Deep down in love

LYRICS

Dirty Things

I’m taking my time

Cause I know I’m gonna be alone

There’s nothing left to say

When I get you on the phone

You won’t look me in the eye

When you’re walking out the door

Running me wrong in circles

Around my heart

And you won’t come clean

With the one that you’re loving in the dark

And all the pain inside

It won’t stop hurting at all

And it’s all because of you

And the dirty things you do

And it’s because of you

And the dirty things you do

I can’t help myself

When it comes to loving you

Something inside is telling me to walk away

But I see your body

And my mind starts to go astray

I lose my cool anytime you

Look away

And it’s all because of you

And the dirty things you do

And it’s because of you

And the dirty things you do

I can’t help myself

When it comes to loving you

You’re trying to hurt me

Cause I know all your lies

I see all the little dirty things

You know they

Sparkle in your eyes

I knew in my heart

That you’re just no good

And when you hurt me this time

I knew that you would

I knew I should have never let you in

And never let you taken control

And it’s all because of you

And the dirty things you do

And it’s because of you

And the dirty things you do

I can’t help myself

When it comes to loving you

Hollywood

Freaks on the corner

Setting up trim

Bums on the street

On their last bender

Too much trash and too much time

And not much to eat on just a dime

People ask me why I would

Live my life in Hollywood

You know the record deals they’re down the street

And up the hills the porn chicks in heat

Alcohol is not enough yeah but

Shots from sunset gonna get you tough

People ask me why I would

Live my life in Hollywood

Oh got that nasty reputation

For messing up this generation

It’s not a mess it’s understood

It’s worse than hell it’s

Oh it’s Hollywood

Cigars and martinis

Oh they make the scene

Transvestite love yeah you know that’s all I need

But everybody’s doing their thing

They’re keeping in line they’re keeping in swing

I’m packing up I’m on the move baby

I wanna live in Hollywood

I’m gonna live in Hollywood

I’m gonna pack it up to Hollywood

Oh I gotta move all baby to Hollywood

Oh oh oh oh

(Hollywood)

Oh oh oh oh

(Hollywood)

Time to Go Home

Well it’s about that time again

I pack my bags full of where I been

All the guitars and microphones are loaded up

And we’re ready to roll

It’s 30 hours looking straight down the line

And I think about that little girl that’s mine

Cause you know up north it never gets warm

Like it does in the Gulf of Mexico

And I know the boys they all had a good time

And thanks to all our friends who were there each night

And now it’s time

It’s time to go home

And just when you think you were on your way

You turn around and you got one more day

And then you get tired, oh you gonna get tired

All over again

Sometimes you’re thinking what’s it all for

Cause you’re working so damn hard just to

To make enough to pay the bills

And hope for just a little more

And I know the boys they all had a good time

And thanks to all our friends who were there each night

And now it’s time

It’s time to go home

Well it’s the music that drives my soul

Keeps me going when I’m getting low

And you can’t miss home

You can’t miss home, until you’re on the road

And I know the boys they all had a good time

And thanks to all our friends who were there each night

And now it’s time

It’s time to go home

LOVE LIKE THIS

SUPERMAN

HOLDING OUT FOR LOVE

LITTLE RED CORVETTE
